It would completely change the way gate camping and PvP works right now but I do think it would be rather awesome to see ships enter system like that (no cloak, just kinda zips on in) as well as leaving system in the same way.

Cool no?

That and each fleet only attacks one ship at a time; but yes... This would be way too exciting to handle.

That is why it will never happen, any Dev that works on it would implode.

The tactics in that video are REALLY flawed...

The entire fleet only fires one volley at the enemy fleet, and then they decide to make it a friendly fire fest by shoving all their fighters IN BETWEEN the larger ships....

imo, keep range, fire everything, use fighters for inter-line security.

Sadly EVE with mouse control system will never be so awesome/intensive/deep feel spaceship combat game.

BTW. Reapers drones looks kick ass (like everything in ME series in terms of style, design), that's a cool sci-fi tech

I would love it if there was a drone command "attack enemy drones" and they drones would go off and fight the nearest hostile drones they can find - like the little fighter wall sent out between the capital ship fleets

Glad we settled this... Also glad to know of your real world Space Admiralty abilities.
Next tell us how you would have handled taking down the Death Star.
